Already an industry leader in healthcare services, we provide home respiratory services and select medical equipment to help our patients sleep better, breathe better, heal faster, and thrive longer.

JOB SUMMARY

As a Sleep Coach, you’ll help patients get the most out of their CPAP therapy by providing personalized guidance, education, and support throughout their first year of treatment. This is a remote-based position where you’ll connect with patients, helping them understand their therapy, work through challenges, and build habits that support better adherence.

You’ll use patient usage data, coaching techniques, and your knowledge of sleep therapy to understand what may be getting in the way and help patients find practical solutions. You’ll also educate patients on equipment, insurance requirements, cleaning, resupply, and the resources available to them.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys helping people, communicating one-on-one, and making a meaningful difference in the patient experience. Because the role is remote based, you’ll need to be comfortable working independently while staying connected and collaborative with your team.

• Accurately document patient interactions, questions, concerns, and next steps in the patient account.
• Share ideas and identify opportunities to improve the patient experience and support business growth in a positive and constructive manner.
